Betty Boop and Bimbo Go CGI for iOS Game

It’s been a busy stretch for the Thirties Fleischer cartoon star Betty Boop. First, she got her own paper towel in Turkey, and now, Winnipeg, Canada-based Fowl Moon Studios has licensed the character for a new iOS game called Betty Boop Dance Card.

Describe as a “rhythm action game with card collecting and deck building elements,” the app will be released for iPhone and iPad in May. It will feature twenty original songs and the ability to play as Betty, Bimbo or the Old Man of the Mountain. Fowl Moon unveiled a new computer-animated trailer earlier this week to coincide with the Game Developers Conference:

Hmm that’s really interesting. Strange mix with songs/CGI/cards lol only time will tell if that’s a good combo.
